To mark this year’s Children’s Day, Swansea University’s Nigerian alumni network organised a free medical outreach event in Abuja, Nigeria, delivering healthcare services to more than 1,000 residents in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The initiative was a powerful demonstration of Swansea graduates’ enduring commitment to social impact and community development. The scope of the medical services provided include health promotion, eye checks, malaria checks and distribution of malaria drugs and eye glasses, free dental health services, nutritional assessment among others.
Working in partnership with the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency, University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), and the Nigerian Red Cross Society, the Nigerian Chapter united volunteers and healthcare professionals to deliver the day.
Gerard Kennedy, Development and Alumni Relations Manager at Swansea University, said: “We are incredibly proud of our Nigerian alumni for their exceptional initiative and generosity. This event not only highlights their professional expertise and compassionate spirit, but also exemplifies the strength of our global alumni community. It is a wonderful example of the values cultivated at Swansea University being translated into meaningful local impact.”
The success of the event reflects the vibrancy and cohesion of the Nigerian alumni community. Their ability to deliver such a significant outreach underscores their leadership, unity, and unwavering dedication to public service.
Swansea University remains committed to nurturing a global network of alumni who exemplify excellence, leadership, and social responsibility. We extend our sincere congratulations to the Nigerian Chapter and look forward to celebrating their continued contributions.
Swansea Uni Alumni Nigeria is the official alumni chapter for all Swansea University graduates based in Nigeria.
